Today was a Sunday and Fianna had organised a visit to the Grand Palais to see an Exhibition titled Artistes et Robots.    This exhibition was actually my idea despite the fact that I am often disappointed when I go to museums or galleries, not because of the exhibits themselves but because of the environment which you have to contend with.  The main problem is the sheer number of people that they allow in at any one time, despite being able to reserve ahead of time you still end up surrounded by people in front of you, behind you, next to you all moving at a slightly different pace.  So either you have to wait to see a particular piece or you feel pushed along as the queue builds up behind you.  I would prefer it if they let less people in at one time so you could actually take your time, stand or sit in front of specific pieces to really get a feel for them.  

Anyway, the exhibition was interesting, ultimately I feel Robot art is still Human art. The robot is just a sophisticated paintbrush nothing happens without the initial human idea.
